Hardware/Software Specifications And Task Scenario Hardware and Software Specifications Traffic crash report system requirements: Windows XP/ 2000/ NT workstation Pentium or Celeron processor running at a minimum of 166 MHz 32 MB ram Microsoft Access 2000/2003 Task Scenario Officer John Blake reported to the scene of a two car accident on the corner of South College and Magnolia Street. A lady in a blue Toyota was attempting to make a left hand turn onto Magnolia. A man driving a red BMW hit her from behind. He was attempting to find a clear radio station. The officer first checks to see if either of the drivers needs medical attention. After he found that both people involved were in good physical condition, he proceeds to document the accident. Officer John Blake begins a new report for October, Friday 13, 2005 at 9:45am, the time of the accident. He collects both of the driver’s information including their contact information, driver’s license information, and insurance information. Officer John Blake assesses the damage to the vehicles and notes the damaged areas on his report. At the latter part of Officer Blake’s shift, he takes the crash report and enters it into the Alabama Uniform Traffic Crash Report Database. Officer Blake first enters his badge number and password. Then he chooses the option to create a new form. On the next screen, the officer enters the Location and Time information from his paper form. Next Officer John Blake presses the proceed button which takes him to the first driver/vehicle form. Once he inputs the information for the lady driving the red Toyota, he proceeds to a similar form to enter the information for the guy driving the red BMW.
